Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 500 Years EDP
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.

Our Verdict - Rose Sapphire EDP
A divisive, opulent rose amber that proves some things are worth the price. While some find it underwhelming, for others, Rose Sapphire is a warm, spicy masterpiece, a more delicate, less 'burning' alternative to classic rose powerhouses. Not for the faint of heart or light of wallet.
